The Everyday Marksman

Master yourself. Command your world. Live an adventurous life.

Today I'm waxing poetic on one of the most underutilized tools for making progress as a shooter: the shot timer. I don't think anyone would ever balk at the idea that improving your raw marksmanship ability is important, and we all like to see our scores go up over time. But if you look at our standard courses of fire, every one of them includes time components. It's not just about how accurate you are, but whether you can do it within a certain amount of time. So what does the shot timer actually measure, and how does that impact our ability to improve performance? I'm glad you asked.
